Letters Patent No. 101,155, dated March 22, 1870.

The` Schedulereferred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Be it known that I, MOSES PALMER, Jr., of Lynn, county of Essex, State oflS/Iassachusets, have invented a new'and useful improvementin Shirt-Yenes; and I hereby declare the following a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction.

Upon the accompanying drawingsg Figure 1 is an external View of the back of my shirt.

Figure 2 represents an' internal view of the same.

Figure 3 shows the seapulars, as they are made and attached to the collar-hand.

Figure 4 is a horizontal section of the shirt below -the collar-band.

Figure 5 shows the form of the seapular. My invention relates to the manufacture of shirts,

, and consists mainly in the construction andI novel arrangement of.seapular-pieees designed to take the D represents the collar-band, to which the scapulars are attached, and which holds them in position.

rIhe seapnlars are not attached to each other, but a fullness of the cloth ofthe shirt is allowed between them in the form of a plait', the upper edge of which is sewn to that portion of the collar-band which lies between and conneetsthe scapulars.

This plate renders the gathering of the cloth of the shirt along the lower edges ofthe scapulars nnnecessary, and has been marked e on thedrawings.v

A shirt ln-adeviu this manner corresponds with the formation of the wearer-s back, and adapts itself with ease to all his actions. Violent exertion of lifting and pulling will not disarrange the set of my shirt,nor can it bind the wearerg, Y Y

Should any alteration be needed` in the size of the neck, it will only be necessarylto let out the plait to correspond with the size of the new collar-band. No change or alteration need be` made in the scapulars.

What I cla-im as my invention, and desire4 t-o secure by Letters Patent, is

rEhe scapulars A A, herein described, attached tol the collar-band of a shirtas a-substitute for a yoke, when constructed and arrangedto operate as and for the purposes herein set forth,
